Story of an election

"Story of an election" was filmed March 4, 2018, during the electoral campaign in Paceco, Trapani and Palermo. Through the electoral posters it was easy to guess what could be the themes that would have characterized the politics of the government that would have been created after few months. The slogan that stands out is: "First the Italians". Slogan created by the extreme right wing of Casa Pound and endorsed by the League (previously called League North). The defense of nationalist identities is in line with what happens in the rest of Europe and the world. The upcoming European elections beyond a referendum for or against the current government could be the last ones if the nationalist xenophobic extremist right parties are not faced with new internationalist policies based on integration.

The short film has been realized with the b/w Fomapan R100 film DS8 and a camera Canon 814XL and hand processed by myself with the Adrian Cousins' Reversal Caffenol formula.
